9537. 'And you shall put the rings on its four corners' means the resulting firmness. This is clear from the meaning of 'corners' as firmness, dealt with above in 9494, that is to say, the firmness that results when Divine Truth is joined to Divine Good in outermost parts, which is meant by 'four rings of gold', 9536.

5327. 'And without you shall no man lift up his hand' means that all power in the spiritual was received from the celestial of the spiritual. This is clear from the meaning of 'hand' as power, dealt with in 878, 3387, 4931-4937, 5296. Consequently 'no man lifting up his hand without you' means that they had no power at all except from this, thus that all power rested with this, that is to say, with the celestial of the spiritual. As regards power in the spiritual being meant by 'hand', this will be seen in the next paragraph.
